Chiwenga must be careful in giving Mugabe a chance to decree capital death sentence on him

As much as the safety of the President Robert Mugabe and his family should be ensured in the negotiations for him to step down, the Army Commander General Constintino Chiwenga has been urged to be careful.

If he gives Mugabe a small chance to be at the helm again after briefly usurping his powers, this could lead the president to have Chiwenga sentenced to death for treason.

This come in the wake of a video of Mugabe which is circulating with the remarks Mugabe made concerning any one who seek to overthrow an elected authority.

Mugabe said in the video anyone who seek to overthrow a democratically elected government he will not allow him to stay in the country or live.

This means if Mugabe stands by his words if he were to retain power after what the soldiers did to him on Chiwenga's orders, he would execute the general or force him out of the country.

"What the military started is not a game that one starts and retreat. They must go ahead and see to it that Mugabe never retains the power that he had because if he is given that chance they are in danger of being constitutionally and legal executed or forced into exile," said Dumisani Ndlovu.

Another social commentator said if Mugabe respected friendship, he would not have fired former Vice President Emmerson Mnanagwa and  Didymas Mutasa who had been with him. Therefore, Chiwenga must not be cheated through Mugabe's dog smile during negotiations.
